South Jersey

Wonder what they were up to. Trackwork on the Penns Grove line maybe?

No idea. Pure luck I saw them. Had to stop at the crossing for them. Quite a few cars but I didn’t count.

Maybe someone here knows

CA51 on its way back to Camden coming thru Magnolia as I type this with 5283, 6240 both long hood forward, and 7 cars.

I've been told CSX M301 may have dropped off three passenger cars bound for the CMSL in Philly last night. I assume CMSL will get them either Friday or early next week?

SMS moved their beautifully rebuilt No. 9 steamer last Monday from Pureland Industrial Park to Woodstown, via Conrail and the SRNJ. It's the first time a steamer has been under power in South Jersey since the American Freedom Train in 1975 and a visit by Thomas the Tank Engine in 2005, and the first time steam has been on the Penns Grove and Salem Branches since the 1950s.

No. 9 backing out to the interchange at Pureland-

I just saw a hi rail pickup on the Beesley’s Pt Sec. Figuring it was a Conrail truck I was surprised to see a United Rentals sticker on the door. Is Conrail contracting work now or was that just a rental?

Was it in CSML territory? I thought CRSA didn't run anything past Winslow Jct. now.

Conrail territory

How much of the Beesley's Point Secondary is still owned by CRSA? I had thought CMSL had leased the whole thing from TNJ.
